 * Hello
 * I am using a theme called “best” and I have just created a child theme.
 * The child theme seems to work fine but I am adding customizations to the CSS 
   style and they do not work.
 * This is how I created the child theme CSS file
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: best child
       Theme URI: www.listapink.com
       Description: child theme for best theme
       Author: Me
       Template: best
       */
   
       @import url("../best/style.css");
       ```
   
 * I think I have created it correctly. Why is is that the changes don’t work?
 * Thanks!

 * These forums only support themes from the repository on this site, so can only
   suggest you ask the vendor/developer for help with that theme.

 * The theme works fine. I think this is not related to the theme. It is something
   related to the child theme or the child’s CSS file.
